"I've been trying to improve my game and become more of a well-rounded mixed martial artist. I did get a chance to show I'm not just a one-dimensional fighter who only knows how to strike. That was a great feeling for me and I'm really happy with my performance."

-- Sam Stout talks to the Canadian Press about his "Fight of the Night" against the returning Joe Lauzon at UFC 108: "Evans vs. Silva" last night (Jan. 2) in Las Vegas. "Hands of Stone" has been active in the 155-pound division under the Zuffa banner since his debut at UFC 58: "USA vs. Canada" way back in March 2006 and is perhaps best known for his stand-up wars with Spencer "The King" Fisher. The Ontario native was on a mission to prove he was more than just a tough kid with good hands at last night's event. Did his award winning performance at "Evans vs. Silva" do enough to convince you?
